Someone turned around and saw Wen Zhaoren standing behind her. She was so scared that her face turned pale. Everyone turned around and quickly hid the newspapers in their hands behind their backs. They stood neatly as if they had seen a ghost. Looking past Wen Zhaoren, these gossipy women also saw Bai Lu standing not far away. This time, the expressions on their faces were even more interesting.
"This … Director Bai, do you have any improper relationship with me? This is such a serious problem. Why don't you ask me, the person involved? Isn't it more accurate to let me answer your questions? "
Wen Zhaoren lazily raised one of his eyebrows and smiled evilly. It sounded like a joke, but his tone was a bit sharp. "Since when did my Lati design department become a place for you to gossip? If I remember correctly, it should be working hours now. Do you usually have such a working attitude? Isn't it too easy to find a job outside now? So you've all learned to use this attitude to brush me off … "
"… Manager Wen, we know that we're wrong. We won't dare to do it again!"
The head of the design department knew that things were not going well and quickly jumped out to apologize. He said in a trembling voice, "… We were just … talking nonsense. We promise that we won't dare to do it again. Director Wen, please have mercy."
Wen Zhaoren still had a faint smile on his face. He reached out and pointed at his hand. "It's useless to apologize to me. Your department is under the supervision of Director Bai. You probably haven't realized who your boss is yet."
He took a step forward and looked down at the head of the department in front of him. He slowly reached over and picked up the work pass on the person's chest. His calm words revealed a sense of oppression that made people tremble. "… Manager Li, if I remember correctly, you should have worked in Lati for five years. You probably always thought that the position of design director was yours. However, it's a pity that someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took over the position that you always thought would be easy to get. So, all this gossip was brought in by you, huh?"
"…"
"What I hope you can understand is that I have a reason for promoting anyone. You think that the person I promoted is a woman who climbed out of my bed. This should be an insult to my character, right? Although it's a man's nature to be lecherous, my attitude towards work is just like this in your heart, right? "
Wen Zhaoren's tone was indifferent. Every word was sharp.
Everyone was already scared witless. Now that they heard him say this, they did not dare to breathe.
Wen Zhaoren glanced at Bai Lu, who had been standing not far away. He reached out and patted the department head's shoulder. "… You are all women. some things can be said and some can't be said.. I believe you know better than anyone else. there. you don't need to apologize to me, Manager Li............ You don't need to apologize to me....... You don't need to apologize to me, you.......................................
"…"
"President Wen …"
. "" Don't talk to me. Talk to Director Bai. I have something to do. I'll take my leave first. "
Wen Zhaoren left with a few words and left. Everyone stood there with different expressions. They looked at each other, but no one dared to look at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu knew that Wen Zhaoren was speaking up for her. He was trying to establish her prestige in front of these people. But for some reason, she felt that it was uninteresting.
Because her heart was in a mess and she was always thinking about other things, she did not say anything. She just took a few steps forward and took the newspaper in front of everyone's surprised eyes. Her clear eyes swept across everyone's different expressions. She only moved her red lips and said one sentence.
"Women who rely on men to do things are not real skills. Women who rely on themselves to do things are real skills. However, I believe that time will prove whether or not I, Director Bai, have real skills. Just wait and see! "
After saying this, Bai Lu took the newspaper, turned around, and walked into the office with her back straight.
…
After entering the office, Bai Lu grabbed the newspaper and leaned weakly against the door. Her fingertips were a little pale.
In front of outsiders, she could put on a brave front. But when she was alone, the emotions in her heart were overwhelming. She could not describe how she felt.
She picked up the newspaper in her hand and looked at the eye-catching headline.
— The marriage alliance between the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan in City A is about to come to an end.
The text below was very long. It was mostly about Liang Feifan and Ye Lian's wedding a year ago. It was basically a recap of Ye Lian's recent situation, the Ye Clan's situation, and of course, the Liang Clan's situation.
In the report, there was not a single word about Bai Lu, but the content of the report was indirectly mapping Liang Feifan.
Because of Ye Lian's drug addiction, although this matter had not been completely exposed, it was impossible for the people in City A not to know that the previous report mentioned that the mistress was Ye Lian. At this juncture, Liang Feifan had announced that he was going to get a divorce. It gave people the feeling that he was crossing the river and demolishing a house.
Bai Lu frowned. After reading an entire page, she flipped to another page. There was a financial news article at the back. The Liang Clan's shares had actually dropped by two percent today.
…
Could this have something to do with him proposing to divorce Ye Lian?
After all, the Ye Clan and the Liang Clan had always been in a cooperative relationship. The wedding a year ago was also very sensational. Naturally, outsiders did not know about Ye Lian's character or what kind of outrageous things she had done. They only knew that she might be a drug addict now. As for the husband, Liang Feifan, he could not wait to clear his name when his wife was in trouble …
Such behavior undoubtedly questioned Liang Feifan's character.
The Liang Clan and the Ye Clan used to be in a cooperative relationship. Later on, there was a marriage alliance. Naturally, outsiders did not know the various reasons behind it. It was no joke that a talented man and a beautiful woman could get married. Who could imagine how vicious Ye Lian was and how shameless Ye Zijie was?
But in the current situation, once Liang Feifan announced that he wanted to divorce, everyone seemed to have forgotten the fact that Ye Lian was a drug addict. Instead, they cast all their sympathetic gazes on her.
Women had always had a certain proportion of sympathy in this society. Sometimes, people's attention did not necessarily focus on the so-called truth or falsehood, right or wrong. Instead, it was to vent their emotions.
A man like Liang Feifan, who was so high and mighty, was unattainable by all women. However, such a man also had something that made all men envious, jealous, and hate.
Bai Lu clicked on the mouse and looked at the news on the computer screen. There were large sections of comments below. The polarization was quite serious. Some supported, but 70% of the comments were against it.
Although Liang Feifan was not a celebrity, this kind of public opinion was naturally not a good sign for him. To establish a company, the image of the person in charge was naturally very important.
Liang Feifan had now been labeled as irresponsible and ungrateful. The shares of the Liang Clan had been constantly declining. If this continued, when the time came for the Ye Clan to stand up and win the sympathy of the public, the situation would be even worse for Liang Feifan.
…
Bai Lu put down the mouse in his hand and reached out to massage his throbbing temples. His eyes swept across the room and saw the newspaper on the side …
It was such a striking headline. A photo of Liang Feifan and Ye Lian holding hands as they walked into the church a year ago. In the middle of the photo was a lightning symbol, indicating that the two's "marriage" had come to an end …
However, Bai Lu's heart was incomparably heavy. She did not feel relieved or happy as she imagined. Instead, she was more worried and sick at heart.
Previously, she had been thinking about the problem of her own identity.
Liang Feifan had a family, but he refused to let go of her. Now, he really couldn't wait to cut ties with Ye Lian, but she was not happy at all.
Was she worried about him?
…
It couldn't be denied that she was indeed worried about him. Some feelings had always been settled in one's heart. Even if you ignored them, when something happened, they would still slowly emerge and be unstoppable.
Bai Lu took the phone from the side and gently swiped the screen with his fingertips. There were several times when he wanted to enter the string of numbers that he had deleted but still remembered in his heart. In the end, he couldn't muster up the courage.
He didn't know how to put it. Liang Feifan was an omnipotent man. He should be able to handle it, right?
Moreover, she had told him at the time that if she thought things through, she would go to A City to look for him.
— — Then, Bai Lu, have you thought things through?
When she was alone in England, she tossed and turned every night and couldn't sleep. Just thinking about the three words "Liang Feifan" made it difficult to breathe. Have you already forgotten?
What she couldn't forget the most was that because she couldn't eat or sleep for an entire week, her body couldn't take it and she had to go to the hospital.
She sat alone in the long corridor of the English hospital. Next to her sat a couple. The woman was pregnant, and the man hugged his wife with a blissful expression. The baby in her stomach suddenly kicked the woman, and the woman cried out in joy … That kind of scene set off her lonely figure, making it all the more obvious.
At the time, she was really sad. She had once had a child, and she had once felt that happiness was so close to her, but in the blink of an eye, everything turned into bubbles.
Liang Feifan didn't seem to have lied to her, but he gave her a pile of beautiful bubbles. He gave her a promise. How beautiful it was in the past, how sharp it was when it was broken.
…
She really told herself that even if she met him again in this life, she would never choose to "reconcile with him." Even if she knew that he had no choice but to do so, how could life be so perfect?
He had once given up on her, which meant that to him, she wasn't the most important thing.
